MAITLAND RIVER ON
ANNUAL RAMPAGE
A few days of mild weather last
week, With' a good rain, poured an
immense amount of water in to the
Maitland river, which rapidly rose to
alarming heights, although the ice did
not move out. The' south branch
backed, up east of the Belgrave road
covering the prairie, the water ex-
tending right, to the rear of the old
Union Factory, and overflowiag the
road as far up as Scott Street: Here
some families hadto be moved out,
as the water surrounded the houses,
and crept perilously near the floors.
But is wae south of the second tridge
that the most damage was done, and
one could the inore readily realize the
tremendous force behind the Water.
Here the rciad the ,full width a the
flats is covered with huge cakes of
ice piled up in some places four or
five feet high. Fences and telephone
poles suffered to some extent. With
this road cornpletey blocked on Sat -
today with ice and water:Wing-ham
was shut off completely from the dis-
trict east. This will not last long as
men are at work cleaning off the mass
Down in Lower Wingham Condi-
tions were very much worse, ei.nd eee
sernbled a scene in Uncle: Tom's. Cab-
in when Eliza crossed' the iee. The
sudden .rise in: the water caught' 'the-
peoPle unawares,: and Many were iso-
lated in their homes, 'While the Wa-
ter rose up to the lower windows, and
forced the people to the top storey.
13ut the • velga boatmen,' the Potter
boys, manned the life boat took 'big
chances with a swift current :and fite
small icebergs and resthed the ini-
Prieoned, taking Some ant hem the
Upstairs windows. In,'this, part the
water completely covered the Agri-
tailtural grounds; extending tip as far
as the new Memorial Gates, while the
Whole • flats, including the old race
track grounds were under water.
Forttinately the weather turned
pooler on Saturday checking the :How
of water, which : dropped. over four
feet by Sunday afternoon, • As the
river is, comparatively Open below, it
looks as though the worst .of • :the
flood is orer. It is said never before

THE' SAME OLD FAITH
About 2000 years ago a man walked
rn this earth with such •Ponter' and
ability that the people brought:their
sick and afflicted' to Him, and to
whoni He gave restored bodies and
minds. -All this throtigh„faith. The
other day word came -front the far
north that a minister I was helpless
with: a broken thigh, With death. in-
evitable .UnIces medical help came.
Through intercession. by proper peo-
ple the Provincial Government ;tent
.doctor by plane, who after an ex-.
citing trip, succeeded in bringing the
injured inan down e .few hundred
Juke' .to Cochrane; where he :now
rests .in ,a .hospital,- This is merely
an intrailu,clitoti to the real exhibition
of faith, Up .in that, frozen dreary
region -are a ntimber of Indians in a
sorrowful eonditioe, Most of them
victims of titheeetdosis, News of the
coming of the doctor spread through
the lansh; and when the airman and
the doctck, landed, the maimed' arid
diseased were there for treatment.
One squaw drew her husband 25 inilee
one a toboggan, hoping for medical
relief that:Might make him walk a-
gain. The doctor did what his hm
Red supply of Medicine permitted,
But What ,brought these unfortunates
out, just faith in the ability .of Medi-
cal eekill and knowledge fhe doctor
would do his beet. Vien the airinan
in coming home flew miles out of his
Way so that his .flight evotild net be

mented ptisotter. A mighty .fine
streak of human kindness.

PREVENTION
WILL PAY
Wingham citizens' expense to dam-
aged. property and loss of business,
through the annual spring floods, is
a rather serious matter, but one that,
can, be controlled to a degree. Other
places have used dynamite to open up
the rivers and streams about freshet
times, with very satisfactory reeults.
It skims just as reasonable the sante
benefit Might occur here if a
channel in the Maitland were blasted
out at the bej,d,ges and the Belgrave
road, at the 'old bridge to the race
track and. also kt the bend in Lower
Town. Make a channel for the we -
ter to flow freely and the damage is
eliminated.
Josephine Street is no place of
beauty these days, with a long win-
ter's accumulation of filth covering
the pavement. Mayor F,ells, as the
Chairinan of the Street Committee
might well put four men at Work
with brushes for one day and clean
off the refuse, when nature will soon
remove the remaining ice. Cleanli-
ness is a wholesome virtue and the
quick removal of this mess will add
to the betterinent of the town and be
more in harmony with its general
condition.
And while the clean-up question is
being discussed, another matter is ag-
itating not a few citizens— the ques-
BRIGHT YOUNG LIFE ENDED
The evliite-robed visitor claimed an-
other bright ermine :ii. last week,
AN;hen Miss Seii, daughter of
Mr, and Mrs, Frank Sell, passed away •
after an illness of six weeks,, despite
all that medical skill and tender nura-
ing could do. Deceased was active
in many circles, and deservedly pop-
ular among her companions and ac-
quaintances, who knew and apprec-
iated her qualities of mind and body.
She was clerk in Buller's store since
its opening, and discharged her duties
with the utmost satisfaction to both
employer and the public. An active
member of the Baptist Church, she
took a deep interest in its progress,
and was President of the Mission
Band, Secretary of the Sabbath
School, and pianist of the B. Y. P.
U. Her death will be particularly
felt by these organizations, where het -
abilities and zeal were readily recog-
nized.
The funeral was held from her late
residence on Wednesday afternoon,
services being conducted by her past-
or, Rev. Wyburn E. Smith, who gave
warm tribute to her high Christian
character, • The funeral was very
largely attended, friends coming from
Toronto, Brantford, Stratford, Lon-
don and Detroit. Surviving besides
her parents are two brothers, James
and Fred, both of Wingham, and a
sister, Mrs. W. Wilson, of Detroit.
